<p class="MsoNormal">Gubyon Avenue - Thursday afternoon</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to Lambeth Council, a bad parking situation in Herne Hill is turning into a nightmare, for two streets in particular – Gubyon Avenue and Fawnbrake Avenue. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lambeth have introduced a street by street Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), which means Gubyon and Fawnbrake are excluded from the zone, whereas neighbouring streets, Kestrel Avenue and Shardcroft Avenue are included. This is supposed to have gone live on October 2nd, but the parking meters haven’t arrived, so residents don’t know whether it is live or not. But what is clear is the chaos that is already happening.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Parking in Gubyon was always bad as it is close to Herne Hill station. Now it is impossible. The street is full all the time – with what residents believe are cars from neighbouring streets whose owners don’t want to buy a CPZ permit to park in their own street – not very neighbourly! The situation is not much better in Fawnbrake, whereas the streets that are now part of the CPZ, such as Kestrel and Shardcroft are virtually empty. Gubyon and Fawnbrake residents are frightened to use their cars because they know they will not be able to park when they return. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Despite pleas from angry and upset residents, Lambeth Council is not planning to sort this parking nightmare any time soon. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a result, residents have launched a petition calling for the CPZ mess to be sorted sooner rather than later. Everyone who is affected by this is encouraged to sign this at <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sort-the-herne-hill-cpz/">http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sort-the-herne-hill-cpz/</a>.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><h6 class="uiStreamMessage"><span class="messageBody">Various agencies deal with the Lido carpark, which is regularly (ab)used by tradesmen, commuters &amp; others - none of whom use the Lido. Disabled parking is abused. The Lambeth Park Ranger Service watched the carpark abuse terribly well, but at least did some work (see pic of tagged car). It faces elimination and this could worsen the parking situation. Petitions are circulating online to save it. If you have an opinion, now is the time to have your say.</span></h6>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><span style="color:black">The following <a href="http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/Services/TransportStreets/HerneHillCPZExtensionStage2.htm" target="_blank">link</a> contains details of the consultation underway to extend the existing zone 'N' from Poplar Walk, Heron Rd. down to Herne Hill Station within the Lambeth boundary. It has been posted to all residents/businesses in 14 streets.</span><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">The deadline for responses is : <strong>Friday 17 June 2011</strong></span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">---The design includes:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> ---Yellow line (no parking) restrictions around street corners</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> ---Parking bays mostly for residents with some available for visitors / pay-and-display.</p>
<p><span style="color:black"> <br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">--- Even if you do not see a need for pay-to-park controlled parking, it is worth considering whether you might support the introduction of yellow lines on street corners to improve both pedestrian and vehicle safety there. Marking out parking bays in some areas might also alleviate bad parking.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black"> <br /></span></p>
<p>---<span style="color:black"> For some a car club can be a preferred way of accessing a vehicle, particularly infrequently and for short journeys. Car clubs are not part of the consultation but the comments box can be used to note other preferences.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black"> <br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">--- As part of an attempt to "reduce street clutter" Lambeth Council have also indicated that they are considering alternative ways of implementing signage, in particular low level signs.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">--- The Council are also considering how they might combine parking bay design with build-outs and/or trees to contribute to the traffic calming design for the area. Streets with existing high resident parking intensity are less likely to suit this option and the Council are undertaking a drive-by survey to assess viability.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">--- It is difficult to discern some of the parking bay plans on the paper map and whilst using zoom on the <a href="http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/2A1C21FA-9DE2-49A3-A32D-89E66F22382F/0/HerneHill2ndStagePlanFINAL060511.pdf" target="_blank">attached</a> is better, some bays are obscured by wording or other marks. N.B. the lower section of Poplar Walk is currently de-designated, i.e. was taken out of the CPZ due to knock-on parking problems it introduced in 2009 having been rendered an empty street.</span></p>
